Plirding with Forsyth Audubon Society

Plirding means picking up trash while birding! Is this a good event for you and your family? Do you enjoy walks, observing wildlife, and hate to see it mixed with harmful trash? Then join Forsyth Audubon for this "out and back" bird walk. We will look for birds on the way out and pick up trash on the way back. Binoculars available to borrow. Please bring used plastic grocery bags, gloves, and your curiosity. Parking is available next to the Winston Waterworks Water Park at 3584 Winston Lake Rd., Winston-Salem, NC 27105.
